Reduction of Face‐to‐Face Contact Hours in Foundation Research Courses: Impact on Students' Knowledge Gained and Course Satisfaction

This study investigated the impact of reducing the number of face‐to‐face contact hours in a Masters of Science in Social Work (MSSW) foundation research course in an urban school of social work on students' knowledge gained and course satisfaction. A quasi‐experimental pretest/posttest comparison group design was used to test the following hypothesis: reducing the number of face‐to‐face contact hours will not negatively impact knowledge gain and course satisfaction in a foundation research course. The findings of this study suggest that reducing the number of face‐to‐face contact hours does not negatively affect student learning as both the comparison and the experimental group demonstrated an increase in foundation research knowledge. The level of course satisfaction was influenced by the number of hours completed in the program, age, and the number of hours worked in paid employment. Students who are especially vulnerable are younger students who have completed less course hours. They tend to struggle at the beginning to get used to new technology as part of their educational experience. This paper demonstrates that it is no longer ‘if’ web‐based and distance learning technologies are appropriate for social work education but rather ‘when’ and the degree to which their integration yields greatest educational value.     

The Impact of Ethnicity and Phase in Training on Israeli Social Work Students' Satisfaction with the Field Instruction

Students' evaluations of their satisfaction with their field instruction including their field instructors, agency, and learning opportunities have been the focus of earlier and more recent studies. However much less is known about students' satisfaction in non‐English speaking countries. Even rarer are studies on how satisfaction differs among diverse ethnic groups and phase of training. This study focuses on the impact of ethnicity (Jewish and Israeli Arabs), and phase of training (second or third years) on the satisfaction of Israeli social work students with their field instruction. Some 742 second and third year students reported their satisfaction on a self‐administered questionnaire. Third year students who had already completed two academic years of training were more satisfied with their field instruction than second year students. Arab students were significantly less satisfied with their field placement agencies. Second year Arab students were also less satisfied with their field instructors and their field instruction in general than second year Jewish students. The lower satisfaction might be true for other minority groups in Western countries and should be further investigated. We recommend increasing cultural sensitivity in the curriculum of social work education as well as preparatory workshops before the beginning of field practice.

论1927年共产国际五月指示的不可行性

1927年五月底,共产国际给中国共产党发出了挽救革命的紧急指示,即五月指示。大革命失败后,共产国际指责中国共产党未能执行五月指示是大革命失败的重要原因。而事实上,在蒋介石发动“四·一二”反革命政变后,武汉汪精卫集团也开始动摇并日趋反动,中国革命进入了非常危急的时期。但远在莫斯科的斯大林等共产国际领导人对中国革命的形势变化认识不够,以为汪精卫政府是国民党左派的代表,要求中国共产党一方面维持同国民党党内的密切合作,另一方面大力开展土地革命,建立工农武装力量,这在实践上是行不通的。

Instructional Uses of Approximate Convolutions and Their Graphs

A technique is presented for approximating convolution densities f * g by forming the convolution of step-function approximations of f and g. This technique, amenable to the electronic calculator or computer, provides suitably accurate graphs for illustrating concepts in probability and statistics. Several examples are included.
